How to measure for knee sleeves? (step-by-step advice)
Finding the perfect fit for knee sleeves might not be as straightforward as some may think. There is a compression knee sleeve size chart that’ll help you determine the right fit, but you’ll first need to measure your knee circumference. We’re here to make this tedious process simple.
1. Measure Your Knee Circumference
Measuring your Knee Circumference should be at the top of your list. Get into a standing position. Take a flexible measuring tape and measure the circumference of your leg just below the middle of your kneecap (mid-patella). As a benchmark, the average knee circumference in females is 13-20 inches (33-51 cm), and 14-22 inches (35.5-56 cm) for males.
2. Refer to The Size Chart (above)
Knee sleeve sizing is very important. By picking the correct size, you’re ensuring a snug, but not too tight, fit. A fit that is too tight will restrict blood circulation, while a loose knee sleeve slip will simply slip. Use the knee support size chart to pick the correct size.
3. Consider Your Activity
In case you’re between sizes then pick a size, from the leg sleeve size chart, according to the purpose. If you’re buying knee sleeves for lifting, then pick the smaller size. If you’re doing endurance activities (those have a longer duration), pick the bigger size.
We hope that our size chart for knee sleeves helped to guide you in the right direction!
